The Su God of the Reopening of the Sports Arena

Chapter 2467 Within 3 steps of becoming the strongest active player.

Chapter 2467 Within three steps of becoming the strongest active player.
You need to know that track and field competitions are not conducted one event at a time, but rather several events are conducted together.

It's normal for several events to be held at the same venue at the same time.

There is only one project that can bring all projects to a halt.

That was the 100-meter final.

Besides, even if you hold a final, other events are still being held.

For example, in the women's shot put final, Gong Lijiao won the silver medal with a score of 20.30 meters, achieving her highest ranking in her fifth World Championships appearance, which is also her third World Athletics Championships medal.

German athlete Schwanitz won the championship with a jump of 20.37 meters, his first world championship title.

Yang Jian also expressed some regret during his commentary:

“巩立姣和施瓦尼茨是老对手，今年两人交锋施瓦尼茨3胜2负稍稍领先。巩立姣今天出手很顺，上来就是20米30！离她个人最好成绩只差了5厘米。这一掷让巩立姣自己也很兴奋。而头号对手、德国人施瓦尼茨第一下只有19米80。第二掷巩立姣又有20米05的发挥，在她下一位出场的施瓦尼茨则是20米00。前两掷巩立姣排名第一。第三掷巩立姣再次找到好手感，她投出了20米25，但施瓦尼茨在第三下找回感觉，她的成绩是20米37，一下反抢到第一位。”

Such a strong first-half performance is truly inspiring.

Yang Jian thought he was going to win the championship.

Unfortunately, in the second half of the competition, Gong Lijiao was not as powerful as in the first three throws. She committed fouls on the fourth and fifth throws, and her final throw was 19.91 meters.

最后施瓦尼茨以20米37获得本届世锦赛女子铅球冠军，巩立姣以20米30遗憾获得亚军，美国选手卡特以19米75获得第三名。

In the mixed zone after the match, Gong Lijiao revealed that her supporting leg cramped up after her first throw. She said, "I've never encountered this situation before. Maybe it's because I was playing at home today, and there were so many spectators cheering, which made me feel too excited. I kept trying to adjust, but my right supporting leg felt very awkward and I couldn't get it right."

Regarding her opponent Schmnitz, Gong Lijiao said, "I think she is not as good as me technically, but she has excellent physical condition, great strength, and a high throw. She is very strong. Although I fulfilled my wish to change the color of my medal today, everyone definitely hopes to win the gold medal. We were only 7 centimeters apart today, so I still feel a little regretful."

"So, that's the charm of track and field, and also the regret. We were only 7 centimeters short, otherwise we would be the ones playing the national anthem now."

"But there's nothing we can do about it." Liu Xiang is an athlete, so he can empathize with this kind of thing even more, especially with his own experience, which makes him understand injuries very deeply: "After all, injuries are also part of the competition."

"Athletes never just face the competition in their best physical condition."

"I hope that all athletes in China now understand that what we should be doing is how to adjust our physical condition, how to avoid injuries, and how to make choices when injured."

"If I could go back to my youth and tell my younger self this, I would definitely say it to myself."

After speaking, Yang Jian looked at the former top star in China in front of him and felt quite emotional. However, since they were currently live streaming, there was no way for the two of them to have a private conversation. After checking the signal given by the director, Yang Jian said, "Alright, the new competition is about to begin. We are about to start the new competition."

"The upcoming event is the one that everyone is looking forward to: the 100-meter race."

"The semifinals of the 'Flying Man Showdown' will be held tonight."

"We can all wait and see."

"Okay, the first to appear is the female contestant."

"Our country has four players who have entered the semi-finals this time, which can be considered as giving their best effort. The young players have also gained experience, and it can be said that the best strategic goal has been achieved."

"The rest is up to you."

"Let's see how many people make it to the finals."

"This should be quite difficult."

Liu Xiang nodded in agreement: "Making it to the finals in a major competition is significantly more difficult than in the preliminaries."

"Furthermore, you also need to consider the issue of energy management. If you want to compete for a medal, you not only need to ensure that you make it to the finals, but you also need to pay attention to your physical condition."

"I think the person we should pay the most attention to is Chen Juan."

"Because she's the only one who has a real chance of winning a medal right now."

"If your goal is to win a medal, then you must pay attention to the following issues."

"Liu Xiang is right."

Yang Jian nodded and said, "But if your goal isn't to win a medal, then you'll have to give it your all in the semifinals."

"To paraphrase what Su Shen said back then, we should treat the semi-finals like the finals and give it our all."

“I remember when he was young Su, he often said this kind of thing.”

"Yes, in terms of the clarity of his goals, I think he is second to none among track and field athletes in China." Liu Xiang seemed to have his thoughts suddenly returned to nearly 10 years ago.

That was the first time he had seen this man.

Of course, you could also say that he was a boy at that time.

To be honest, at first he didn't see anything special. He was just giving normal encouragement and guidance to the younger athletes.

It was all done in a completely official manner.

I never imagined it would evolve like this.

growing up.

It's such a fascinating thing.

……

In the afternoon, the night sky above the National Stadium "Bird's Nest" was ignited by the enthusiasm of tens of thousands of spectators.

When the starting signal for the first group of the women's 100m semifinals sounded, the synthetic track instantly became the focus of the entire stadium—eight world-class female sprinters appeared in lane one after another, and one of them, dressed in a red outfit, caused the cheers of the Chinese audience to instantly pierce the sky.

She is Chen Juan, a famous Chinese female sprinter.

Yes, Chen Juan will be performing in the first group.

This showdown, featuring Jamaican legend Frazier Price and other top contenders, will not be an easy task to overcome.

First of all, it's almost impossible to take down Frazier.

This woman's ability to adapt in competitions is unparalleled, making her arguably the greatest female competitor in history.

You might have a chance to beat her in the small tournament, but it's almost impossible in the big tournament.

At least for now, Chen Juan is not in that situation.

In addition to her group, there was also Chen Juan's old rival, Okabarre, who also ran under 10.80 seconds.

In addition to Marie-José T. Lou, and Jamaica's Sheron Simpson.

It's definitely a place teeming with experts.

This is why it is so difficult for women to break through in the 200 meters.

Entering the 100-meter track requires navigating what countless Asian athletes consider a forbidden zone.

It's because the competition among women is too brutal.

Wei Yongli is strong enough, but it will still be extremely difficult for her to get into the finals of the women's competition.

The difficulty is terrifying.

For example, she has already opened it for 11 seconds this year, but her ultimate goal is still...

Making it to the finals is a success.

Therefore, even though Chen Juan's strength has fallen behind in Asia, she is still a force to be reckoned with on the world stage.

It's not a gap in the supply chain.

Judging from the results, there are quite a few contestants whose abilities are similar to hers.

That's why it was truly unexpected that Moscow was able to win that silver medal.

The competition for women is simply too brutal for Asian athletes.

It even borders on cruelty.

Fortunately, Chen Juan was a female humanoid weapon personally created by Su Shen.

With so many years of scientific foundation and technological support.

That's what got her to this point.

But even after arriving here...

Li Xuemei dared not be careless.

The strategy for the semifinals must be carefully planned, otherwise the final two hours later may not be so easy.

The semi-finals and finals of the competition were held on the same day, which inevitably put the athletes' physical reserves to the test.

You don't have a strong physical reserve.

Even though we made it to the finals, we were just there to make up the numbers.

But if you stay here, and some hothead comes along and goes all out, you might be eliminated from the finals.

That would be a losing proposition.

That's too conservative.

You won't even get past that one shot.

Being too aggressive will affect the finals.

This is what Chen Juan's team is now grappling with.

"Please welcome the first group of athletes in the women's 100m semifinals!"

Commentator Yang Jian's voice echoed throughout the stadium through the speakers as eight figures slowly emerged from the athletes' tunnel, instantly capturing everyone's attention.

"First up is Jamaican legend Shelly-Ann Fraser-Price in lane 3. This 'pocket-sized sprinter,' born in 1986, is wearing a yellow tight-fitting suit with the Jamaican flag logo on her chest standing out prominently. She is only a little over 1.5 meters tall, but she possesses overwhelming explosive power, and her amazing results over multiple seasons make her the undisputed favorite to win the group."

Frazier Price, hands on his hips, slowly strolled to the side of the track, his eyes sharp as an eagle, scanning his opponents in front of him. Occasionally, he would raise his hands to stretch his shoulders and neck, his every move exuding the composure and domineering presence of a "king," as if first place in the group was already in his grasp.

She is like Usain Bolt on the racetrack.

Even if it's not the highest peak

It is at least the longest river.

Following closely behind is Nigerian athlete Okabaré in lane 5. Wearing a green racing suit, she is 1.80 meters tall and was born in 1988. She has both height and speed advantages, and her season best time of 10.70+ seconds gives her the ability to compete for a top-three finish in her group.

Okagbarre repeatedly moved his ankles and knees, adjusting his running shoes with a serious expression, clearly taking this semi-final very seriously, with every warm-up movement showing his full concentration.

She also wanted to get a good position from the start.

Lay a solid foundation for your chance to win a medal in the finals.

Then there's Marie-José T. Lu, the Saint Kitts and Nevis athlete in lane 1.

Jamaican runner Sheron Simpson in lane 7.

Semoy Hackett from Trinidad and Tobago in lane 8.

American swimmer English Gardner (correct name format) and Eagles' Asha Phillips, both in lane 2, also made their appearances.

Each person then began a targeted warm-up.

Some focus on leg stretching to fully activate the hip and hamstring muscles; others repeatedly practice the starting push-off motion to refine their starting rhythm.

Others undergo coordinated training of arm swing and acceleration to ensure the continuity of technical movements.

Athletes from different countries, dressed in their distinctive racing attire, created a beautiful scene on the track.

The competitive atmosphere is becoming increasingly intense.

The reason for this is that the women's sprinting world doesn't have a dominant genius like Bolt.

So even Frazier is not invincible.

If Frazier makes a mistake, they seize the opportunity and try to catch up.

A comeback victory for the gold medal.

With overall strength becoming more similar, everyone's ambitions and atmosphere naturally rise.

They became even more undisguised.

When Chen Juan, in lane 6, took to the field, the cheers at the Bird's Nest stadium instantly rose.

"This renowned Chinese athlete, born in 1990, is dressed in a striking red, form-fitting combat uniform."

"The word 'CHINA' on her chest danced like flames under the lights. Her red shorts paired with gold running shoes and her 1.75-meter height gave her both explosiveness and coordination among the athletes."

"As a leading figure in Chinese women's sprinting, Chen Juan is internationally renowned for her 'fast start and steady rhythm' technique. Her signature 'bent arm start' technique is the core secret to her breaking through bottlenecks and joining the ranks of the world's top athletes. Competing on home soil this time, she carries the expectations of countless Chinese viewers. Every step she takes is steady and powerful, as if she is going to use the power of her bent arm to break through the wind on the 'Bird's Nest' track and write a new chapter in Chinese women's sprinting."

Yang Jian provides passionate commentary.

Because Chen Juan has a chance of getting a card.

In the special event of the 100-meter race.

They are capable of competing for medals.

That's something worth talking about at length.

Before Bolt, no athlete had ever achieved absolute dominance in sprinting.

In a battlefield where heroes vie for supremacy, all you need is to carve out a territory.

That would already garner a large number of supporters.

"Her personality has always been quite good. When I saw her as a child, I thought she might be a little shy, but now I realize I was worrying too much," Liu Xiang said with a smile. "Given her current ability and status, unless a new Asian athlete emerges and wins the gold medal, she will be able to achieve her goal."

"Otherwise, it would already be the unshakeable first in Asian history."

"Liu Xiang, how do you think Chen Juan will handle this match?" Yang Jian asked.

"Just perform normally." Liu Xiang, who has lived on Ersha Island for so many years, said this almost without thinking.

"Perform normally?"

As soon as Yang Jian finished speaking, Liu Xiang said, "Yes, performing normally is enough, for a very simple reason."

"In major competitions, many people's performance is inconsistent, so you just need to be more consistent than these inconsistent people."

"That's enough."

"Liu Xiang truly deserves to be called a world-class athlete; his words are thought-provoking."

"No, no, no, that's not what I said." Liu Xiang shook his head and said, "This is about the entire Ersha Island, based on a core competition principle."

"That's also why they're able to stand at the top of the world in so many projects."

"I didn't really understand why it was like this before, because my performance has always been quite consistent, so sometimes I couldn't empathize with the situation."

"But for most athletes, consistent performance is a rare achievement. However, on Ersha Island... consistent performance has become a basic requirement."

"You know how much effort it takes to do this well."

"Therefore, Ersha Island can now be called a national track and field mecca, or even a world track and field mecca."

"They are all things that can be taken on."

"I see," Yang Jian said. "Then let's do as Liu Xiang said."

"Let's pray that our player Chen Juan can perform steadily in the semi-finals."

When Chen Juan appeared, she did not try to cater to the cheers of the audience. She simply let her hands hang naturally and walked steadily toward the 6th lane.

A calm smile graced his face.

There was no tension or restlessness in his eyes, only focus and determination on the game.

Upon reaching the track, she first jogged half a lap around the track to loosen up all her joints, and then began targeted warm-up exercises.

First, perform 10 deep lunge stretches to fully stretch the hip and hamstring muscles.

This is the core power source for sprinters, directly affecting their explosive acceleration.

Then, perform 5 sets of arm swing resistance training.

Swing your arms back and forth by pulling the elastic band.

Activate shoulder and back muscle strength.

Ensure that the bent arm swing provides sufficient assistance to the body when starting.

In the core of the warm-up, Chen Juan focused on refining her bent-arm start technique.

She stood in the starting area and repeatedly simulated the transition between "bent arm start-acceleration": bending her knees, pushing off the ground, and swinging her arms forward. Each movement was compact and standardized.

Her bent-arm posture is textbook perfect—a significant improvement over when she first learned it.

With arms naturally bent, the elbow angle is precisely locked in the "golden range" of 85°-90°. This angle has been proven by sports biomechanics to maximize the efficiency of upper limb force generation, avoiding muscle tension caused by too small an elbow and preventing force generation delay caused by too large an angle.

With the forearm almost parallel to the ground and the fingertips lightly touching the ground, only a small amount of body weight pressure is applied, which ensures body balance and avoids the loss of strength when starting due to excessive pressure.

The shoulder girdle muscles are moderately tense, and the anterior deltoid, biceps brachii and other upper limb muscles are activated in advance, with the muscle fibers adjusting to the "optimal initial contraction length".

Like a spring compressed to its limit, it is ready to release its elastic potential energy at any time.

“We can see Chen Juan warming up.”

"Chen Juan's bent-arm start technique is very mature, which is her biggest characteristic that distinguishes her from other athletes."

Yang Jian excitedly explained, "The bent-arm start allows her to generate stronger upper body thrust at the moment of launch, which, combined with the explosive power of her legs, forms a 'coordinated upper and lower body' power generation pattern, making the acceleration more impactful. Her goal this time is to break 11 seconds, rank among the top three in her group, and successfully advance to the finals!"

Liu Xiang actually wanted to say that, given the current situation, opening it for 11 seconds is probably not stable.

But after thinking about it, the wind speed at the Bird's Nest in Beijing isn't very high, so maybe 11 seconds would be enough. I didn't say anything more.

At this moment, Chen Juan had walked to the starting blocks. She bent down to feel the elasticity of the track, then whispered a few words to herself and adjusted the angle and spacing of the starting blocks.

Because sprint events have extremely high requirements for the connection between the start and acceleration, her starting block settings have been repeatedly calibrated to ensure that she can quickly enter the acceleration rhythm after starting and give full play to the advantages of the bent-arm start.

In terms of focus, they kept their eyes fixed on the track ahead.

His gaze grew increasingly sharp.

The muscles throughout the body gradually enter a state of "moderate tension"—maintaining flexibility while accumulating power for the upcoming burst of energy.

Spectators along the track raised the five-star red flag, and their shouts of "Go Chen Juan!" echoed loudly and powerfully above the "Bird's Nest".

As everyone knows, sprinting not only tests speed and strength, but also the precise control of starting technique and rhythm. Chen Juan has secured a place among many strong competitors thanks to her signature bent-arm start technique.

The other runners had finished warming up and returned to their respective tracks. Frazier Price maintained his confident posture, standing with his hands on his hips in the starting area, occasionally glancing at the finish line, as if victory was already assured. Okabarre, on the other hand, sat by the track, eyes closed, trying to calm himself down through breathing exercises.

Ta Lu then had a final technical discussion with his coach, gesturing with his fingertips on the track to indicate the starting steps and rhythm.

With all eight athletes in place, the cheers at the "Bird's Nest" gradually subsided, replaced by intense anticipation and tension.

"The lights are focused on the 100-meter track, a track that carries countless dreams, and is about to witness a peak contest of speed and technology."

Chen Juan stood in lane 6, leaning slightly forward, locking her gaze ahead. Her red figure stood out among the other contestants.

She was fully prepared and waiting for the starting gun to fire.

Use the force of bending your arm to break the wind.

They are aiming for a spot in the finals.

"set".

The electronic commands pierced through the hustle and bustle of the "Bird's Nest," instantly gripping the breaths of tens of thousands of spectators.

The once bustling stadium fell into utter silence.

Only the faint sound of the evening breeze rustling through the rubber track remained.

And the slightly rapid breathing of the eight top athletes.

Chen Juan, in lane 6, wearing a fiery red battle uniform, slowly bent down with her 1.75-meter-tall body.

She adjusted the starting block spacing, with her front foot 38 centimeters from the starting line and her back foot 28 centimeters from her front foot—this meticulously honed spacing ensures that the hip, knee, and ankle joints can form the optimal angle for power generation when pushing off the ground, laying a solid foundation for the explosive release of her current bent-arm start.

As a leading figure in Chinese women's sprinting, Chen Juan's bent-arm start technique has long been regarded as a textbook example in the domestic track and field world.

At this moment, her upper limbs remained firmly bent, with the elbow angle precisely locked within the 90° golden range.

The forearm is parallel to the ground, with the fingertips lightly touching it.

Moderate tension in the shoulder girdle muscles.

Slightly tighten your core muscles
The transverse abdominis and erector spinae muscles provide rigid support.

Avoid shaking your body when starting.

Her eyes were fixed on the marker 10 meters ahead, and her ears were like radar, picking up the signal from the starting pistol.

All the senses in my body have been adjusted to their maximum.

It was as if the whole world consisted only of her and the racetrack in front of her.

The competition among women is so fierce that even if she reaches the semi-finals, she cannot be careless.

The strong competitors on the adjacent track were also on high alert.

Fraser Price in lane 3 uses the traditional straight-arm start, with both arms straight and palms fully pressed against the ground, elbows close to 180°. While this provides some support, from a biomechanical perspective, the initial length of upper limb muscle contraction is insufficient in the straight-arm state. When starting, an additional "elbow flexion-force generation" movement must be completed first, which prolongs the force transmission time.

The Jamaican legend's eyes were sharp as an eagle's, fixed on the track ahead, his muscles taut, clearly focused entirely on the sound of the starting gun.

He attempted to suppress everyone with his powerful explosive force.

Okagbarre in lane 5 had his center of gravity extremely low and his hands clenched into fists, clearly ready to sprint at full speed.

Ta-Lu in lane 4 repeatedly adjusted the angle of his starting blocks, looking serious; the other runners also adjusted to their best positions, and the track was filled with a tense competitive atmosphere.

BOOM ————————————

The electronic gun fired, and the competition began.

The sharp sound of the starting pistol pierced the night sky.

Like a loud thunderclap.

It instantly ignited the passion of the entire audience.

It certainly ignited the athletes' passion as well.

Chen Juan's bent-arm start technique exploded at this moment, becoming the key to breaking the deadlock.

The instant the gun fired, she used her shoulder joint as the axis to drive her forearm in a compound "forward-upward" movement. The anterior deltoid muscle contracted rapidly, pulling the humerus forward. At the same time, the biceps brachii and brachioradialis muscles worked together to keep the elbow angle stable. The forearm acted like a rigid lever, converting the contraction force of the upper limb muscles into a forward thrust.

This extra thrust became Chen Juan's "first booster" at the moment of initiation, directly propelling her upper body forward.

At the same time, her hind leg muscles exploded, generating a powerful ground reaction force.

Since the core muscle groups have formed a "rigid trunk" before the start, this ground reaction force is directly transmitted to the upper limbs through the lower limb bones, pelvis, and spine, forming a "resultant force in the same direction" with the thrust of the bent arm forward.

At this moment, her body leans forward at an angle of 45°, which is exactly the same as the direction of the thrusting force of the bent arm, ensuring that the transmission of force is not deviated at all.

Almost all energy is focused on forward propulsion, rather than being wasted laterally.

For the first 10 meters, Chen Juan maintained her bent-arm posture without any relaxation, keeping her elbows close to her torso to avoid energy loss from upper limb swaying.

Each forward bend of the arm precisely assists in shifting the center of gravity forward, making her body lean forward at a more stable angle and significantly reducing wind resistance.

Her stride was incredibly fast; her legs moved rapidly, like tiny motors, each step solid and powerful.

The speed increased at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Frazier Price also had a quick start, with a reaction time of 0.131 seconds, 0.07 seconds faster than Chen Juan.

However, the shortcomings of the straight boom start were exposed in the initial stage.

The straight-arm push technique caused her thrust to be dispersed, and her acceleration efficiency in the first 10 meters was significantly lower than Chen Juan's. Although the yellow figure also moved forward rapidly, it could not suppress Chen Juan to a great extent.

However, this was also because Frazier did not go all out in the semi-finals.

Otherwise, the gap would be even larger.

Of course, without the unique feature of the bent-arm start, Chen Juan wouldn't even have the ability to start in front of Frazier.

In the first 30 meters of acceleration, the advantage of the bent-arm start became even more apparent. Chen Juan's bent-arm start gradually transitioned to a swing-arm rhythm, but the bent-arm power generation mode at the start laid the foundation for her efficient power generation - the coordinated power generation rhythm of the upper and lower limbs was fully formed, and she could maintain the precise coordination of stride frequency and push-off without deliberate adjustment.

This high frequency of pushing off the ground allows the speed to continue to increase.

The forward shift of the center of gravity brought about by the bent-arm start allows her body to enter the acceleration state earlier, avoiding the acceleration delay caused by the "lagging center of gravity" when starting with a straight arm.

She maintained a stable forward lean angle in her upper body, keeping her core muscles tight to avoid unnecessary swaying and minimize energy loss.

The arm swinging motion is standardized and efficient. The arms swing back and forth rapidly with the shoulders as the axis, and the elbows are always close to the torso. Each arm swing precisely drives the legs to exert force, forming a perfect coordination of "arm swing-push-off".

At a height of 1.75 meters, the individual demonstrates a unique advantage at this stage, gradually unleashing the potential of their stride. The coverage area of each step steadily expands, leading to a more rapid increase in speed.

Okagbarre's start is relatively slow, with a reaction time of 0.135 seconds, which is not slow, but he is too tall and does not know how to start with his arms bent.

The speed for the first 30 meters is only 9.5 meters per second.

Although several body lengths behind Chen Juan and Fraser-Price, the Nigerian athlete gradually increased her stride and began to steadily improve her speed, taking advantage of her height to keep up with Chen Juan and Fraser-Price and form the second group.

Ta-Lu, Simpson, and other riders have been completely left behind. They tried their best to accelerate, but could only watch helplessly as Chen Juan, Fraser-Price, and Okagbarre formed a "three-way battle" and the focus of the track was completely on these three top riders.

The cheers at the "Bird's Nest" erupted once again.

Keep it up, Chen Juan!

The shouts were deafening.

The wave of cheers grew louder and louder.

It transforms into an invisible force.

Propelling the red figures forward.

50 m.

During this stage, the "inertia accumulation effect" brought about by her bent-arm start technique began to appear—

Because of the small moment of inertia and high acceleration efficiency during the initial stage, her body gained stronger forward inertia, which was not simply a "continuation of speed".

Instead, it transforms into the mechanical advantage of "maintaining high speed without additional effort".

Chen Juan maintained a high level of technical skill, with her shoulder blades retracted and lowered, her chest moderately expanded, her head upright, and her gaze fixed on each marker 10 meters ahead.

The entire upper body forms a smooth "aerodynamic profile", minimizing the drag coefficient.

When she pushes off the ground with her legs, the elastic rebound of her ankles is as swift as a spring, and the transition from her heel to the ball of her foot when she pushes off the ground is smooth and natural.

There was no stiffness whatsoever.

Each push-off maximizes the conversion of ground reaction force into forward propulsion.

At 60 meters, Frazier wanted to widen the gap further.

When Frazier Price turned to glance at Chen Juan beside him, his eyes held a hint of surprise and wariness.

They then increased their intensity again.

They attempted to widen the gap by relying on their endurance in the later stages of the race.

But Chen Juan remained unmoved. Her stride frequency remained stable, her arm swing was still standard, and her body posture was not deformed at all. She only slightly tightened her core muscles to ensure that she would not be overtaken by her opponent.

Her 1.75-meter height gives her a slight aerodynamic advantage when driving side-by-side, with a more streamlined body and relatively less wind resistance, which allows her to hold her own against Frazier Price in a close contest.

then.

Fraser-Price soon discovered a chilling fact:

She's maintaining her current speed...

They couldn't even pull Chen Juan away by half a body length.

Unless she tries to force a speed increase by expending too much energy.

But there's no point in doing that. The simplest problem is that the finals are just around the corner, and a seasoned veteran like him wouldn't make such a basic mistake.

But the red figure beside her was like a stubborn piece of chewing gum, sticking firmly to her side and not being shaken off even a little.

This……

Frazier was alarmed.

Is this still the same adorable Dongfang I knew back then?

Unknowingly.

Faced with Chen Juan's stable and efficient technology.

Frazier seemed to have lost his former magic.

It was at least the magic that easily defeated Chen Juan.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

At 80 meters, the track layout is basically finalized.

Frazier Price still led by a body length and a half. Her movements were textbook perfect, with no unnecessary swaying, a stable center of gravity, and minimal wind resistance.

She ran forward calmly, as if she were conducting a routine training session.

Chen Juan, too, did not change any of her technical movements. Her arm swing remained efficient and her push-off remained solid. Instead of blindly chasing Frazier Price's stride frequency, she stuck to her own rhythm and narrowed the gap in her own way.

This "self-reliant" playing style demonstrates her strong mental fortitude and top-level competitive ability.

Explain now.

Even if he can't compare to Frazier, he is still a world-class athlete.

After all, how many people in history can compare to Frazier?
At 90 meters, Fraser Price's lead remained solid. Her pace didn't drop at all; she didn't push herself to the limit and maintained a good lead throughout the rest of the race.

This is the benefit of playing at a lower level.

You didn't push her to a limit at all.

Naturally, she seemed to handle everything with ease.

When he arrived here, Fred felt that the sound of the pursuing figure's spiked shoes had gradually weakened.

It wasn't until this point that Chen Juan started collecting them.

Then he began to reduce his strength.

To avoid wasting energy during the finals.

Seeing that the two had been released, Okabaré couldn't resist chasing after them again.

But the gap ahead is too large.

Ultimately, they were unable to catch up.

call----------

The sound of the wind drifted past their ears.

"Without a doubt, Frazier took first place with a time of 10.82 seconds, with a tailwind of 0.5 meters per second."

"Absolute strength, no wonder they are the biggest favorite to win the championship."

"Perfectly demonstrated the value of the miniature flying man."

"It also gives all short athletes an excuse without any excuses to strive for good results."

"Then there is our country's Chen Juan."

"It's a bit of a pity, but she held back in the end, and her time for that shot was 10.87 seconds."

"Although there is still a considerable gap compared to Frazier's 10.82 seconds, it is clear that she is now much more relaxed about running under 10.90 seconds."

"This would guarantee him a spot in the finals, and he should also have a chance to win a medal."

"The third place in this group is Nigerian athlete, Chen Juan's old rival, Okabaré."

"Wow~ Okabarre actually managed a time of 10.89 seconds with this shot."

"It also turned on 10.90 seconds."

"What's even more outrageous is that if you're in the 90s or under 10 seconds, you have to sit on Xiao Q's bench."

"This is truly remarkable; the intensity of competition in world-class tournaments is quietly and steadily increasing."

"Fourth is Marie-José Ta Lue 11.04."

"Fifth is Sheron Simpson, whose final time was only 11.06 seconds."

"It seems Jamaica isn't in good form today; they've already lost a general right from the start."

As for the rest of the people, they are mostly around 11.10+.

This shows how high the level of this competition is.

Normally, a time under 11.20 seconds is enough to dominate in Asia.

11.10+, there are very few Asian players in history who have reached this standard.

Don't talk about dominating Asia.

It can also be eliminated.

The intensity suddenly increased after the semifinals.

Those who can't keep up have to leave.

There is no other choice.

In a post-match interview, Chen Juan spoke frankly:

"The physical exertion is not significant."

"This has already achieved my pre-match strategic expectations."

"I will give it my all in the final."

"Then everyone will know how well I've prepared for winter training."

"I don't know. There's basically no hope for a gold medal. Frazier is too strong. But I think I should be fine with a medal because of the overall score."

"Defeat Frazier?"

"That's something to think about in the future. Let's focus on getting closer to it now."

"In fact, I'm already within three steps of her."

"Isn't it?"

Hear this.

Many reporters did indeed realize what was happening.

Once upon a time, Asian athletes wanted to get close to Jamaican legend Frazier?
Don't say three steps.

You should tell her to take ten steps.

They might not be able to catch up.

The difference really is that big.

Once upon a time, Chen Juan was one of this group of people.

But with so many years of progress...
